Our Take

Swiss jazz vibraphonist Heinz Geisser and his Ensemble 5 are back with their latest offering, "The Collective Mind." And let me tell you, this album is like a musical rollercoaster ride through the quirkiest corners of the jazz universe.

From the get-go, Geisser's vibraphone skills are on full display, creating intricate melodies that will have you tapping your toe one moment and scratching your head the next. The rest of the ensemble follows suit, with each member bringing their own unique personality to the mix.

Tracks like "Mystical Musings" and "Funky Fusion" showcase the group's ability to seamlessly blend different genres and styles, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh at the same time. And just when you think you've got them figured out, they throw in a curveball with a track like "Experimental Excursions," which sounds like it was composed by a group of musical mad scientists.

Overall, "The Collective Mind" is a wild, wacky, and wonderful journey through the mind of Heinz Geisser and Ensemble 5. If you're looking for something a bit different to spice up your music collection, then this album is definitely worth a listen. Just be prepared to have your musical boundaries pushed to their limits. Did someone say avant-garde jazz fusion? We're here for it.
